Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention device is the world's largest waterfall, Angelquall, located in the Guiana Highlands in the Canaille National Park in Gran Sabana, Polivar State, Venezuela, South America, with a drop of 1,000 m. The water falls toward the basin at a speed of 500 km per hour. However, because of the speed of 500 km per hour, the water falling cannot be seen with the naked eye. Moreover, it is not in a mist state. The size of the finely divided water particles is predicted to be nanoparticle water. Moreover, although there is no basin, the water is stored. The present invention device 1.2 incorporates this mechanism of nature into a device. The 21st century can be said to be the age of water, while the 20th century was the age of oil. The use of oil has caused major problems for humanity, including environmental destruction, global warming, floods, desertification, chemicals, drinking water shortages, virus outbreaks, and a variety of substances that do not decompose. It is said that current technology cannot solve these difficult problems. Past solutions such as high-temperature pyrolysis, dilution of pollutants, and chemical decomposition are not effective. If we turn the tables, the 21st century's solutions will require a method that is the exact opposite of past solutions. It is a method of quantum mechanics of atoms, electrons, and molecules. It is a method of recombining their sizes. The device of this invention will be used to solve not only hydrogen electrolysis but also other difficult problems. Next, we would like to learn from the elemental composition of the human body, and the fact that humans are made up of a dense composition of atoms, electrons, and molecules. A person weighing 70 kg weighs 42 to 45 kg, which is 60 to 65% water. The second most abundant is carbon, which is said to weigh 16 kg. Two types of chemical molecules, water and carbon, alone account for 58 to 61 kg. The blood vessels through which blood flows in the human body are thick, at 30 to 50 mm, for arteries, and very thin, at 0.0005 to 0.5 mm, and are said to be 100,000 km long. In addition, the pathways through which water flows in humans are medically called aquaporins. In summary, the skin is called an organ and accounts for about 20% of the body weight, and in addition to the sweat glands, there are countless 1.0 nanometer holes from the skin, from which 2 to 2.5 billion water particles of 1.0 nanometers or less are released per second. If this is converted to a speed of 2 to 2.5 meters per second, it is metabolized from the skin to the outside of the body. Also. Water is taken in through the mouth from drinking water and food. Oxygen and nutrients are supplied to cells through blood vessels. Oxygen and nutrients are consumed within the fine parts. However, water must flow from the cells to the intermediate tissues. The size of the water inside the cells is unknown, but the outer and inner skin of the cells have holes that are only the size of one water molecule, and water must pass through them. It is said that most internal diseases are caused by the obstruction or stagnation of the passage of water molecules, which leads to the development of tumors and cancer. The smallest pores in the human body are the passageways for water molecules (0.303 nm in diameter) from cells. For this reason, there is no doubt that water molecules are the main players in the major functions of the human body. [Background technology]

[0002] The global hydrogen supply race has begun. The biggest challenge is to develop a system that uses the least amount of energy to produce hydrogen and significantly reduces electricity consumption. As hydrogen has become more popular, water electrolysis equipment, a key technology for producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources, is also attracting attention. As a result, competition among water electrolysis equipment manufacturers is intensifying around the world, and many manufacturers are moving from demonstration to commercialization phases in order to quickly move toward commercialization and expand their market share. The water electrolysis equipment market is a market in which Japan can also demonstrate its strengths in safe and stable operation of equipment and innovative technological development of components. Therefore, while continuing technological development to improve the performance and durability of components, we will also implement measures such as "expanding the scale of equipment and improving the manufacturing capacity of equipment parts and materials," "supporting new water electrolysis technologies such as high-temperature steam electrolysis and AEM (anion exchange membrane) type," "contributing to the formulation of international standards by utilizing Japan's technical strengths," "collaborating with overseas partners to acquire overseas markets," and "establishing a support system by the government and related organizations for project creation." In particular, "expanding the scale of equipment and improving manufacturing capacity for equipment and parts and materials" is particularly important as the construction of large-scale plants for hydrogen derived from renewable energy and investment in large-scale water electrolysis equipment manufacturing facilities progresses around the world. From the perspective of strengthening international competitiveness, the government will also use GI funds to demonstrate the enlargement and modularization of equipment, while supporting the expansion of manufacturing capacity for water electrolysis equipment and parts and materials. [Prior art documents]

[0003] Reduction of equipment costs for water electrolysis equipment for hydrogen production equipment and price of hydrogen derived from renewable energy. In order to reduce the cost of hydrogen production by water electrolysis equipment, it is necessary to reduce equipment costs and improve performance in addition to reducing electricity costs. The cost is 52,000 yen / kw for alkaline type and 65,000 yen / kw for solid polymer (PEM). In order to achieve the 2030 target, we will continue to support development, including auxiliary equipment such as rectifiers. If a deviation from the existing target is recognized in light of future technological progress and the reduction in equipment costs around the world, we will consider revising the target to an appropriate level. Furthermore, since expanding the manufacturing capacity of water electrolysis equipment and its related parts and materials will lead to reduction in equipment costs and improvement of the international competitiveness of Japan's water electrolysis equipment, we will also consider supporting the expansion of said manufacturing capacity, aiming to build a consistent supply chain from raw materials to the assembly of electrolytic cells. In order to produce hydrogen derived from renewable energy at low cost, it is important to continue to promote the introduction of renewable energy and to procure large amounts of cheap surplus renewable energy to increase the operating rate of water electrolysis equipment. In addition, using surplus electricity to produce hydrogen can be one of the solutions to the lack of adjustment power and grid congestion that are issues in the introduction and expansion of renewable energy. Therefore, in parallel with the enlargement of water electrolysis equipment, we will promote the development of systems that contribute to the effective use of renewable energy and the improvement of the operation rate of the equipment. Promotion of new water electrolysis technology "high-temperature steam electrolysis, AEM type water electrolysis" Currently, there are alkaline and PEM types of water electrolysis equipment that are in the commercial stage, but development of next-generation water electrolysis equipment such as high-temperature steam electrolysis, which has very high electrolysis efficiency, and AEM type, which does not require precious metals as a catalyst unlike PEM type, is being promoted worldwide. It is necessary to continue development and to proceed with social implementation in fields where the performance can be fully demonstrated by examining the utilization method that suits each characteristic through demonstration.

[0004] A 70% cost reduction is an urgent issue for the widespread use of hydrogen. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, hydrogen-based power generation is expensive, costing 97 yen per kilowatt-hour, seven times the cost of liquefied natural gas. The current selling price of hydrogen is about 100 yen per Nm3, but the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry says this needs to be reduced to about 30 yen. The cost of renewable energy to produce green hydrogen is also expensive in Japan. According to Bloomberg, the cost per megawatt-hour of solar power generation is less than $40 in China and Australia, but exceeds $100 in Japan. The same is true for wind power generation, and Japan is constrained from reducing the cost of renewable energy. Japan is not blessed with favorable weather conditions, such as a lot of rain, limited hours of sunshine, and no consistent wind like Europe. In addition, there is little flat land, which makes power generation costs high. Furthermore, Japan's unique trading practices, such as insufficient power transmission networks and high margins, are driving up costs.

[0005] This section describes examples of technology for functional water from aqueous solutions in Japan. The current methods and characteristics of nanobubble generation in Japan are described below. Dissolution-type microbubble generator. Gases such as oxygen dissolve in water. Although the amount of gas dissolved varies depending on the type of gas, the basic characteristic is that the amount of gas dissolved increases in proportion to the pressure. The pressurized dissolution-type microbubble generation method utilizes this characteristic, and after dissolving a sufficient amount of gas in water at a certain level of high pressure, the pressure is released to create a supersaturated condition for the dissolved gas. This makes the excessively dissolved gas unstable, and the gas molecules in the supersaturated part try to jump out of the water. As a result, a large amount of bubbles are generated in the water. The basic system configuration uses a pump that can be driven by pressure to circulate the water in the water tank. At this time, water and gas are taken in from the suction side. These are discharged into the water tank from the extrusion side, but a nozzle is attached to the tip, which becomes a flow resistance for the water flow, so the pressure on the extrusion side increases. The pressure is generally adjusted to about 3 to 4 atmospheres. A dissolution tank is installed in the extrusion path, which effectively dissolves the gas taken in during suction into the water. The particle size of the bubbles generated in this way has a median diameter of 10 μm, and the second peak shows a somewhat broad distribution. In the case of a pressurized dissolution type microbubble generator, the number of bubbles smaller than 50 μm is several thousand per 1 ml. A conceptual diagram of a dissolution type micro / nano bubble generator is shown below. TIFF2024180213000002.tif48143TIFF2024180213000003.tif6172Gas-liquid two-phase flow swirl type microbubble generator This is a commonly used method of generating microbubbles. It uses the phenomenon that air bubbles break down into small pieces when the vortex breaks down by creating a water flow and entraining gas in the vortex. There are many methods for generating vortices, and many types of microbubble generators are commercially available. The conceptual diagram is shown below. In this method, an inclined blade is attached near the outlet of the pipe, and a swirling flow is generated when the water flow passes through. The water flow contains gas, and microbubbles are generated by breaking down this vortex. Methods for breaking down vortices include using obstacles in the pipe, but generally, a method of releasing a vortex into bulk water is used. Since the water in the water tank is equivalent to a stationary state, the vortex discharged from the nozzle into the water tank breaks down instantly. This breaks down the air bubbles in the vortex into microbubbles. Methods for creating vortices include attaching a propeller to a shaft and rotating it inside a pipe, and sending a water flow into a cylindrical or egg-shaped container to reduce the rotation radius of the water flow inside the container, generating a strong vortex. The particle size distribution of the bubbles generated here is centered around 30μm, with a minimum of 4μm and a maximum of 55μm. The number of bubbles is about 3000 to 5000 per ml. The particle size distribution and conceptual diagram of the gas-liquid two-phase flow swirl type microbubble generator are shown below. TIFF2024180213000004.tif7276TIFF2024180213000005.tif6675

[0006] As mentioned above, there are many types of microbubble generating devices available in Japan today, and they are commercially available. However, all of these devices are submerged in liquid. As a result, the bubble particle diameter is around 0.15 μm, and the number of bubbles per 1 ml is said to be about 800 million. From these obtained values, the characteristics and properties of water and nano water technology are still not fully understood, so we believe that this technology has great potential. Considering the above, and taking into account the values ​​obtained with current technology, the difference in fluid resistance in the atmosphere is said to be very large, about 19 times, and we believe that there is a limit to how much the current method can improve the values ​​further.

[0007] The establishment of the world's highest standard renewable hydrogen production technology is a major urgent task. The market selling price of hydrogen in Japan in 2023 is 100 yen per 1.0 Nm3. It is expected to increase to 1,000 yen per 1.0 kg. TIFF2024180213000006.tif11156, which is about 3.0 times the value. The Japanese government's goal is 30 yen per 1.0 Nm3 in 2030, and 20 yen in the future. The electrolysis efficiency, which is an index value of the energy used to produce hydrogen, is currently 5.0kw / Nm3 in 2023. The Japanese government's goal is to set it at 4.3kw / Nm3 in 2030. In addition, the cost of a water electrolysis system will be 50,000 yen / kw in 2030, up from the current 200,000 yen / kw in 2023. The maximum energy consumed by a hydrogen electrolysis system is the amount of electricity used to separate the hydrogen bonds in water (H2O) and generate hydrogen (H2). It is considered difficult to achieve using conventional technology. Using quantum mechanics technology, we will build a next-generation system for the technique of separating water (H2O) at the size of water atoms, electrons, elements, and molecules. Furthermore, we will construct a safe and secure device that requires minimal operating energy under normal temperature and pressure conditions.

[0008] The performance figures for conventional nanobubble generators are that the minimum value for particle size distribution devices used to measure particle diameter is said to be an average particle size of 0.15 μm. The density number indicates a value of approximately 400 to 800 million particles per ml.

[0009] The aqueous solution used in the water electrolysis device of the current hydrogen production equipment has an electrical conductivity of 1.0MΩcm or less, which is equivalent to that of pure water. It is said that in a general aqueous solution, the hydrogen bond ratio per volume is about 85%, and the remaining 15% of the water is not hydrogen bonded and exists freely. The number of water molecules (H2O) per ml of water is 2×1024, and if the 15% that are not hydrogen bonded is excluded, the number becomes 1.7×1024. The process of generating hydrogen (H2) using a water electrolysis device is the movement of water molecules (H2O) being liberated and separated from the aqueous solution, and many hydrogen elements (H) are separated and bonded to generate hydrogen (H2). The energy of hydrogen bonding is 500kj / mol. The energy consumed by the current water electrolysis device is 5.0kw / Nm3, which is a considerable amount of electricity. The energy consumption to generate nanoparticle water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) is compared to the energy consumption to generate 100.0 Nm3 of hydrogen in 1 hour. With the current aqueous solution, the energy consumption is 5.0 kW x 100.0 Nm3 / h = 500 kW / h. The amount of aqueous solution required to generate the above hydrogen is 100 Nm3 / h. The particle size of TIFF2024180213000007.tif17157 contains four water molecules (H2O).

[0010] The device of the present invention is a system for using ordinary aqueous solutions (same quality as pure water) in water electrolysis equipment, which consumes a lot of electrical energy to decompose water.The purpose of this invention is to provide a nanoparticle water generating device that can significantly reduce the electrical energy consumed by using nanoparticle water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% number density) instead of ordinary aqueous solutions (same quality as pure water). [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The present invention makes it possible to rationally construct a revolutionary device by applying the mechanism of the natural world in which components such as atmospheric aerosol particles on the ocean surface are dissolved and dissolved in ocean water by the mechanism of waves. It is possible to purify the atmospheric space as one application example by spraying nano-plasma particle water (0.1-1.0 nm particle size) in the atmospheric space, adsorbing and immobilizing the aerosol particles present in the atmosphere with the nano-particle water, and dissolving the fine particle water immobilized in the nano-plasma particle water (0.1-1.0 nm particle size) in an aqueous solution as contaminated water. The major features of the device of the present invention are that it is possible to rapidly generate a large amount of nano-particle water (1.0 nm particle size) and nano-plasma particle water (0.1-0.5 nm particle size) and to maintain a high concentration of dissolved oxygen for a long period of time.

[0012] The housing 1 of the device of the present invention is a housing that combines a spray chamber / air pressure mixing chamber, a nanoparticle water storage tank, and a 10-100 nm particle size precipitation tank, and the spray chamber / air pressure mixing chamber is provided with an air circulation intake and an air chamber, and an air flow control Venturi partition is provided between them, and a narrow space is formed by a partition plate and a partition plate. In the space of the spray chamber / air pressure mixing chamber, the nanoparticle water is blown out and dissolved in the storage tank by a pressurizing fan.

[0013] The housing ▲2 of the device of the present invention is equipped with an air compressor and six special nozzle units in the nano-plasma generation chamber. These constitute a device for generating nano-plasma particle water. At the bottom of the housing, there is a water tank for storing nano-plasma particle water (0.1 to 0.5 nm particle size).

[0014] Furthermore, the spray chamber / air pressure mixing chamber is provided with 7, 8, or 9 spray nozzles for generating nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size) depending on the amount to be generated. The nozzles are fixed to metal fittings provided in the spray chamber / air pressure mixing chamber, and the system for generating nanoparticle water is characterized by having a sphere disposed at a position away from the tip of the nozzle that generates nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size) through the collision of water sprayed from the nozzle. Effect of the Invention

[0015] As is apparent from the above description, the effects obtained from the device of the present invention are as follows: (1) Using a particle size distribution analyzer to analyze the size of nanoparticle water, we were able to generate particle sizes of 0.5 nm and 1.0 nm with a number density of 100%. (nm is the unit of measurement and is an abbreviation for nanometer.) (2) By using an instrument to analyze the density and number of nanoparticles in water, a value of 1.4 × 10^22 particles per ml was obtained for a particle size of 0.5 nm. (3) For 1.0 nm particle size, a value of 2 × 10^21 was obtained per ml. (4) The nanoparticle water produced (particle size 0.5-1.0 nm) contains high concentrations of dissolved oxygen and 50- TIFF2024180213000008.tif10143 is approximately 3 to 5 times larger than conventional technology. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0016] [Figure 1] The best equipment for carrying out the present invention is shown in Figure 1.

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. EXAMPLES

[0018] The main components of the device of the present invention are: nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, number density 100%) generator housing ▲2▼ nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, number density 100%) generator housing ▲2▼, water storage tank ▲3▼, nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, number density 100%) storage tank ▲32▼, high-pressure water pump ▲5▼, nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, number density 100%) high-pressure pump ▲20▼, air compressor ▲35▼, high-performance filter unit ▲41▼, nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, number density 100%), storage tank ▲42▼, nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, number density 100%), transfer piping ▲43▼, and pure water equivalent quality piping ▲44▼. It is constructed of the above main parts. The nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) generator housing ▲1▼ takes in air using a pressurized air blower fan ▲10▼, which blows air into the spray chamber and air pressurized mixing chamber ▲11▼. In the spray chamber and air pressurized mixing chamber ▲11▼, the nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) is sprayed, and in the air pressurized mixing chamber ▲11▼, the components in the air taken in and the nanoparticle water are mixed together in the air pressurized mixing chamber ▲11▼. Due to the pressure difference between the pressurized water and the water vapor pressure, the nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) flows along the flow of the air taken in and into the spray chamber and air pressurized mixing chamber ▲11▼. The air rises from near the bottom of the air / particle size control Venturi partition ▲14▼, which is the downstream side wall of the air flow of the nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, number density 100%) generator housing ▲1▼, into the narrow space between the air / particle size control Venturi partition plate ▲15▼. The air rises to the top together with the nanoparticle water (particle size 1.0 nm, number density 100%), and after reaching the top, it flows downward through the narrow space provided between the air / particle size control Venturi partition ▲16▼ and then into the air chamber ▲17▼. The role of the three partitions and dividers 14, 15, and 16 is to send the 2.0 to 100 nm particle size water generated in the space, three side walls, and top plate of the spray chamber / air pressurized mixing chamber ▲11▼ together with air to the air chamber via the air / particle size control venturi partitions and dividers ▲14▼, ▲15▼, and ▲16▼ described above. The water is then precipitated in the precipitation tank ▲13▼. The entire device makes it possible to generate nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, 100% number density).

[0019] The nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, 100% particle density) generator housing ▲2 of the present invention maintains the pressure inside the generator housing ▲2 at 1.0 MPa using an air compressor ▲35. The nanoparticle water (1.0 nm) generated in the nanoparticle water (1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) generator housing ▲1 is pumped by the nanoparticle water (1.0 nm) high-pressure pump ▲20 to the nanoparticle water (0.5 nm) generator housing ▲2▼ via the nanoparticle water piping ▲21▼. The nanoparticle water (1.0 nm) maintained at a pressure of 10.0 MPa inside the piping is discharged from the special nozzles ▲22▼▲23▼▲24▼▲25▼▲26▼▲27▼ in the generator housing ▲2▼, and collides with the balls ▲28▼▲29▼▲30▼ at a flow rate of 1000 km / hour, thereby generating nanoparticle water (0.5 nm). The nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size) generated in the generator housing ▲2▼ is reduced in pressure from 1.0 MPa to atmospheric pressure by the pressure reducing valve ▲32▼. The reduced pressure nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, 100% particle density) passes through the nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, 100% particle density) particle piping ▲31▼ and is sent to the nanoparticle water (0.5 nm) particle size, 100% particle density storage tank ▲32▼ for storage. After that, it passes through the high-performance filter unit ▲41▼ and is stored in the nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size, 100% particle density) storage tank ▲41▼ via the pure water equivalent quality piping ▲44▼.

[0020] Nanoparticle water is generated by impacting the three impact objects with high-pressure water ejected from special nozzles 7, 8, 9, etc. fixed to the side panel inside the housing ▲1 of this device. Nanoparticle water and dissolved oxygen are dissolved in the nanoparticle water storage tank 12 due to the difference between the pressurized dissolution and the water vapor pressure, and nanoparticle water is generated.

[0021] In the upper middle part of the spray chamber / air pressurized mixing chamber 11. of the nanoparticle water generating device housing ▲1▼ in Figure 1, a water supply pipe 6. is provided from the side wall, and special nozzles 7, 8, 9. are formed at its tip.

[0022] In FIG. 1, the high-pressure nanoparticle water pipe 21 is attached to the side wall of the middle part of the cylindrical longitudinal side plate of the nanoparticle water (0.5 nm particle size) generating device housing ▲2▼, and has six special nozzle units formed at its tip. [Industrial Applicability]

[0023] Japan aims to simultaneously achieve three goals through Green Transformation (GX): stable energy supply, economic growth, strengthening of international industrial competitiveness, and decarbonization. Under the "Growth-oriented Carbon Bracing Initiative," the government has indicated a policy of supporting upfront investments of 20 trillion yen in order to draw out 150 trillion yen in GX-related investments from the public and private sectors over the next 10 years. As the construction of a large-scale and robust supply chain for hydrogen and ammonia and support for the development of supply infrastructure are being considered, Japan's journey toward a hydrogen society is moving from the technological development stage to the commercial stage, and it can be said that the success or failure of realizing a hydrogen society will determine the competitiveness of the nation. For this reason, it is necessary to appropriately allocate policy resources while periodically scientifically evaluating the progress of hydrogen-related technologies more than ever before, and the government will maximize private investment by clarifying the outlook in the future. There is a limit to the expansion of hydrogen demand in Japan, and the global hydrogen market is expected to generate annual revenue of 2.5 trillion dollars and create 30 million jobs by 2050. However, as the market expands rapidly, we believe that the trend toward reducing energy consumption in electrolysis devices for hydrogen production equipment will accelerate. The device of the present invention contains 11.1% of the theoretical amount of hydrogen in water (H2O) by hydrogen bonding with oxygen elements. The need for the device of the present invention will likely increase at an accelerating rate in the future, not only in the domestic market but also in the global market.

Claims

1. The present invention device is a waterfall with a drop of 1,000 m, located in the Guiana Highlands in the Canaille National Park in Gran Sabana, Polivar State, Venezuela, South America. The water falls toward the basin at a speed of 500 km per hour. However, because of the speed of the water falling at 500 km per hour, it is not visible to the naked eye. Moreover, it is not in a mist state. It is predicted that the size of the finely divided water particles is nanoparticle water. Moreover, there is no waterfall basin, but water is stored. The present invention device 1.2 incorporates this law of nature into the device. The components of tap water and industrial water used for electrolytic water in the hydrogen production device are dissolved in an aqueous solution (meaning an aqueous solution with an electrical conductivity of 300 μs / cm or more containing electrolyte ions of iron, manganese, calcium, sodium, magnesium ions, and other minerals). This aqueous solution (100% water) is used by the present invention device 1. to generate nanoparticle water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% number density), which is then passed through a high-performance filter unit to remove the electrolyte ions from the aqueous solution (meaning an aqueous solution with an electrical conductivity of 300 μs / cm or more containing electrolyte ions of iron, manganese, calcium, sodium, magnesium ions, and other minerals). This nanoparticle water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% number density) with an electrical conductivity of 1.0 MΩcm or less can be used in the electrolytic water device of the hydrogen production device. This nano water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) is a nano aqueous solution that has four water molecules in the volume of a 0.5 nm particle diameter and 32 water molecules in the volume of a 1.0 nm particle diameter. The aqueous solution that has been finely divided into nanoparticle water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) has stronger hydrogen bonding strength than unprocessed water. It has been verified that the surface tension and the particle size are zero. In addition, by applying this nano water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% number density) to the electrolysis water device of the hydrogen production device, the current electricity consumption is 5.0 kW per 1.0 Nm3 of hydrogen production. It has been verified that this is extremely reduced to 0.5 kW-0.2 kW, or 1 / 10-1 / 15, compared to ordinary water, which is non-processed water. The energy required to generate hydrogen is to separate the hydrogen bonds in ordinary water (non-processed water) and generate H2 and O2, thereby efficiently extracting hydrogen. The power to separate hydrogen bonds is 480 kJ / mol, and when conventional ordinary water (non-processed water) is used in the electrolysis water device of the hydrogen production device, it is necessary to consume a huge amount of energy compared to the device of the present invention. The nanoparticle water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% particle density) generated by the device of the present invention has 32 clusters of water molecules (HO) with a particle size of 1.0 nm and 4 clusters with a particle size of 0.5 nm. Clusters with particle sizes of 0.5 nm and 1.0 nm have already separated from the hydrogen bond state by 75-90%, with the remaining hydrogen bonded proportion being about 25-10%. In addition, it is thought that about 15% of the aqueous solution has already been separated and separated. It is a free behavior. Taking these factors into consideration, it is thought that the proportion of hydrogen bonds other than nanoparticle water (particle size 0.5 nm and 1.0 nm) will be even smaller. A major feature of the present invention device is that it generates hydrogen (H2) with much less electricity than current systems.

02. The device of the present invention is a new science and technology in the field of quantum mechanics of atoms, electrons, elements, and molecules of water (H2O). The device of the present invention is characterized by making it possible to generate nano-sized water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% number density). The particle size of nano-sized water (0.5-1.0 nm particle size, 100% number density) is characterized by the fact that the spin motion, which is said to account for the majority of the behavioral energy of H2O molecules, exceeds the hydrogen bonding force, and it is said that the H2O molecules behave in four different ways from their bonded state:

1. water molecules (H2O), 2. OH3 (hydrogen ions), 3. OH- (hydroxide ions), and 4. H+ (hydrogen ions). Then, by repeating the molecularization motion, it becomes possible to easily generate H2 (hydrogen molecules) and oxygen molecules (O2). A major feature of this device is that it can be produced with a small amount of electricity, about 6.0 kW, per 1.0 m3, in addition to the water cost, to generate the nano-water (particle size 0.5-1.0 nm, number density 100%) used in the aqueous solution of the electrolytic water device of the hydrogen production equipment.
